Detailed this G35 today, belongs to a friend of mine. Paint was badly contaminated, I needed to use my Chemical Guys Aggressive Clay bar. Wheels weren't bad at all, nothing caked on just some mild build up. Super easy to clean as well. Wheel wells have over-spray on them so I couldn't do much about that. The body had water-spots all over, nothing much I could do about that either.

Great job! Came out looking amazing! How do you like GI Tire Gloss? Last a good amount of time and how is application?
love GI Tire Gloss, during the summer I get about a one and a half weeks before it starts noticeable fading. Since it's water-based, not the best in the rain. But Vancouver weather's been great so far.
It lasts me quite a while because I put it in the smaller 4oz spray bottle. I probably do 5 mists per tire. And then I just refill it when I need to. I've had it for a while. I can see it lasting me through till the end of the summer if not longer.
Great job Brendan ... it looks spotless!! BTW ... did you experience a lot of marring with the aggressive clay?
Very nice! I don't think I would ever use CG aggressive if I wasn't correcting, from everything I have experienced it marrs the hell out of the paint...
